Circa 1920-30s Silk Kimono Black Kurotomesode with family crests featuring a fortune symbol collection
Hand made, all hand sewn in Japan.
Kurotomesode is a type of kimono which is worn at very formal and fortunate occasions such as weddings (family of bride or bloom) or ceremonies. The texture of this kimono is soft and luxurious.
This kimono's lining uses 'Momi (紅絹)' which is a term for thin silk fabric dyed in Beni (べに, crimson red) colour traditionally used for linings or underwear for female Kimono in Japan. It is said that wearing red color keeps human body warm. However, after the WWⅡ, Momi linings became uncommon because the colour was so strong enough to be seen through the outer Kimono, and people became uncomfortable with it. Today, Momi has become one of the criteria to evaluate vintage kimonos. If the Kimono has proper Momi lining, you can tell it is truly vintage.
